Too bad Pygmy doesn't offer plans for all designs

Me too! I probably would have built a Coho if I could have bought plans, but they only offer the kit. Since I'm a die-hard do-it-yourselfer, I had to cut my own wood, so I went with CLC......

When I build a stripper, I'll go with plans.....kits may reduce some stress, but it's the stress that makes you look back on the finished boat and think,"Gosh, it sure was worth it!"
